<p>I hope that as we kiss our loved ones goodby that we keep these thoughts in our mind…it always made me feel closer to Bullet when he was far away from me.</p>

<p>This is a required quote we memorize our 4 dig year. It's one of my favorite quotes/poems. I can recite this without thinking anymore, its become that ingrained. </p>
<p>At the last two TAPS vigils we've had, one of the choir groups here sings it, very moving.</p>
<p>That poem is actually in the back of the booklet we got in our appointment package, the one titled "The Academy Experience".</p>
<p>There is a link for the choral version of High Flight on the USAFA website. The website is currently down though.</p>
<p>it was Chorale that sang it both vigil's we've had. (yay for me! lol). it's even more beautiful as a song. we're actaully getting to record another CD (in like, 10 min), and that will be on there. yay! it truly is a great one</p>
<p>"Wing Staff! Go!"</p>
<p>Awkward pause.</p>
<p>"Sir, High Flight by John Gillespie Magee, Jr. is as follows!"</p>
<p>Haha, I can't tell you how many times we did that during Recognition. :)</p>
<p>Lol, nice. My squad was dumb enough to start off, mumble through the middle of wing staff...then...uh....erm..."START OVER!"</p>
<p>just a note (cause i would notice), while the poem is "laughter-silver wing*S", the song is actually "laughter-silver **WING*" (singular)</p>
<p>its what they sing, but the writing is off. supposedly they're finally re-doing the visitor center video (which has my old-AOC still as a cadet), so we're taping Monday for it. kinda exciting</p>
<p>Will you be able to link it to the web?</p>
<p>the video should i believe appears on the USAFA page, so the new one i assume will too, but i'll let you know when i find out. the CD will be available next fall</p>
